The Wardbreaker is a four-book series by Katerina Martinez, published between 2019 and 2020. The four entries — Heart of the Thief, Soul of the Storm, Crown of the Queen, and Heir to the Throne — follow a protagonist with the ability to break magical wards, a skill that draws her into increasingly high-stakes conflicts involving royal power and supernatural factions. The titles progress from a thief’s perspective to royal succession, tracing an arc of rising stakes and changing identity.
The series was published over two years with consistent pacing, and all four books form a complete narrative arc. Reading in order is necessary to follow the plot. The wardbreaker premise distinguishes this series from Martinez’s witch and fae work, giving it a slightly different fantasy flavor with heist and royal intrigue elements alongside the supernatural conflict.
